The new God of War Ragnarök gameplay was exciting in the PlayStation showcase but left everyone pondering still when the game would be making its release to the world. First, it is important to note that Atreus is much older and it seems to be more capable of enhanced battle capabilities. He was seen riding a bow-charged giant deer into battle. Next, the Norse world is definitely more alive than the first installment of the Norse God of War. With only the dwarves who create Thor’s hammer as the only other people not in hiding. You can see people walking around as Kratos and Atreus are boating around this new world.
There were some exciting enemies like toad monsters, modified ogres, what appears to be android/statue-like enemies, and a Centaurus. Wait, were not Centaurs but Centaurus in Norse Mythology. I checked and it looks like there are.
The world seems to be brighter and possibly made up of the worlds that were not accessible in the first Norse God of War. It didn’t seem like there was anything similar in this new world version except maybe Kratos home which appears to be placed differently from the first game.
Character Developments for the God of War Ragnarök
Freya makes an early appearance in the gameplay and appears to lock in unrelenting anger and vengeance for the death of her son Baldur against Kratos. Since she looks like she has the ability to fight as she might, it must mean Odin has released her from her bonds to Midgard when she pledges to kill Kratos.
Tyr, the Norse God of War makes an appearance as he is freed by Kratos and Atreus. Looking like he is ready to fight the rest of the Asgard.
Thor, God of Thunder makes the same appearance as he did at the end of the first Norse God of War game with no new developments.
One of the last Giants makes an appearance at the end of the gameplay. Looks like Atreus is not as alone as we thought at the end of the first Norse God of War.
Surprising Info from Santa Monica on God of War Ragnarök
According to Santa Monica, Ragnarök happens in this game and ends the Norse installment of God of War. So everything goes down in this next release of God of War and that would include Odin battles, Thor, and more. Wait, does that mean 2023 like Spiderman 2? Again, there was no new news on the release date of God of War Ragnarök.
